Lemon Cheese Squares

At my recent ladies day in Newnan, Ga., I enjoyed meeting Martha Sue McCain, who operated a tea room in Newnan for many years. I was delighted to receive a signed copy of her cookbook Favorite Recipes from Something Special and Friends. Over the weekend I tried her recipe for lemon cheese squares -- the perfect accompaniment for a cup of tea, a leisurely summer afternoon and a new cookbook.

These freeze well, so I plan to save some for an upcoming tea party.

Mix in mixer and press into greased sheet cake pan (10 1/2" x 15 1/2"). In the same bowl, mix:

Looks like a perfect afternoon tea.The cookbook sounds like it would be filled with delightful recipes.

I also enjoy visiting tea houses, the whole experience brings me joy - the table settings, usually complete with fragrant flowers; the beautifully presented food, the elegant surroundings and being at a tea house also means I am spending some special times with family or friends.

I would love to order a copy of the cookbook. I love anything with Lemon. I also would LOVE to know how, if your willing to share your secrets :) you grouped your pictures together? I just love the technique. Also what kind of camera do you use? Your photos are always so bold, clear and just plain stunning!I thoroughly enjoy your blog. I am inspired each time I visit. I also just purchased your book from Amazon. I can't wait to receive it!Blessings to you and yours!

Melissa, I am going to try these lemon squares tomorrow. I'm glad you mentioned they freeze well, since I am giving a shower next week and really need to do some advance planning. Now all I have to do is find some space in my freezer! :-)

I just browsed through your GA trip. What fun! We make fairly frequent visits to GA since my in-laws live there, but they live in Albany, which isn't very conducive to visits elsewhere. Callaway Gardens is one of our favorite detours.

Your family is so good-natured about your picture taking. That is a blessing. Mine is too.
